What are pesticides and what are the benefits of not using them?If you are looking for a natural and healthy way to enjoy cannabis, you might want to consider the advantages of choosing cannabis products without pesticides. Grump Weed's cananbis is free of pesticides. What are pesticides? Pesticides are chemicals that are used to kill or repel pests, such as insects, weeds, fungi, and bacteria. However, they can also have negative effects on human health and the environment. Some of the benefits of avoiding pesticides on cannabis are: - Better flavor and aroma: Cannabis consumers love organically grown flower for its superior flavor and aroma. Pesticides can alter the natural terpene profile of cannabis, which is responsible for its distinctive smell and taste. Pesticide-free flower preserves the full spectrum of terpenes and cannabinoids that make cannabis unique and enjoyable. - Cleaner product: Pesticides can leave residues on cannabis products that can be harmful when ingested or inhaled. In fact, inhaling pesticides through smoking is worse for the human body than ingesting them through food. Pesticides can cause acute symptoms such as nausea, headache, dizziness, and irritation. They can also have long-term effects such as cancer, neurological disorders, hormonal imbalance, and reproductive problems. Pesticide-free cannabis products are free of synthetic chemicals and contaminants that can compromise your health. - Environmental sustainability: Pesticides can pollute the soil, water, air, and wildlife around cannabis farms. They can affect the biodiversity of ecosystems and disrupt the natural balance of nature. They can also contribute to pesticide resistance among pests, which makes them harder to control. Organic cannabis farming practices use natural methods such as crop rotation, companion planting, beneficial insects, composting, and mulching to prevent pests and diseases without harming the environment As you can see, there are many advantages of not using pesticides on cannabis. You can enjoy a safer, tastier, and more eco-friendly cannabis experience by choosing pesticide-free products from reputable sources.

What is radiated cannabis?Radiated cannabis is cannabis that has been exposed to radiation in order to sterilize it and kill any traces of mould, pathogens or contaminants . If a company harvests a crop with mold or mildew, this process is done to comply with the regulations set Health Canada . The most common type of radiation used for this purpose is gamma radiation, which relies on high-frequency gamma rays to break down the DNA of harmful organisms. Non-irradiated cannabis is cannabis that has not undergone any radiation treatment. Some benefits of non-irradiated cannabis are that it may preserve more of its natural terpenes, cannabinoids and flavonoids, which are responsible for the aroma, flavor and effects of cannabis . Non-irradiated cannabis may also avoid some potential risks associated with irradiation, such as changes in chemical composition, loss of potency or activation of harmful substances .

What is Aeroponics?Aeroponics is a method of growing cannabis plants that uses air instead of soil or water as the medium. In aeroponics, the roots of the plants are suspended in a chamber and sprayed with a fine mist of nutrient solution. This allows the plants to absorb oxygen and nutrients more efficiently than in other systems . Some of the benefits of using aeroponics to grow cannabis are: - Full control over nutrients and environment: Aeroponics gives the cultivator full control over nutrient and pH levels, which means you can support optimal nutrient uptake and vigorous growth by dialling in parameters to the desired range. - Easy access to oxygen: Aeroponically grown plants have more access to oxygen than plants grown in soil or water, which enhances their metabolism and photosynthesis . - Requires less water: Aeroponics uses between 90% to 98% less water than traditional cannabis cultivation methods, since the water is recycled back into the system. - Nutrients supplied directly to roots: Aeroponics delivers nutrients directly to the roots without any loss or waste, which improves plant health and reduces nutrient runoff . - Lower risk of pests: Aeroponics eliminates soil-borne pests and diseases, and reduces the chances of fungal infections or root rot .
